Over time, teens have gotten worse and worse. They are continuing to get worse as everything around them gets worse. Teens in the 1920's were just seeing freedom from their parents, as today's teens have always had freedom. Teens are experimenting with things like drugs and alcohol just like they were back then but to a much higher degree. Most teens feel that if others do it then they can do it, or something worse. Which is mainly why today's teens are getting worse and worse every day. But, with all that being said, they aren't animals and they aren't running around going crazy, doing bad things like they are stereotyped.
